Final Comments:
Looking to compete with the very good teams in the Suburban League and earn an opportunity to make the playoffs and advance in D3 R9 with arguably the best Senior class Tallmadge has had in many years. It's been a great off season and the team is confident and excited to prove that we should be mentioned with the better programs in the area.
